| Description of the problem | Toyota tpms system on rav4 not usable with second set of (snow) tires. When i purchased an additional set of toyota rav4 oem rims for snow tires, i wanted to put tpms receives on those rims. When i called my toyota dealer, they suggested that i not purchase an additional set of tpms values as my rav4 could only hold one set of tpms data. They instead suggested that i ignore the tpms warning light, or cover it up with a piece of black electrical tape. *jb |
